For Insomnia "I started trazodone during a bipolar manic episode to help me sleep. At first, it was great, I started at 50 mg and I fell asleep within an hour and stayed asleep. After about a month, it stopped working and I went up to 100 mg, which worked perfectly again for about another month or two. Recently (around 3 months in) I had some trouble falling asleep but still slept through the night, until a couple of weeks ago when I started having extremely vivid nightmares every so often. This week I have had those extremely vivid nightmares every night and I am waking up in cold sweats."

For Depression "I am a waitress, and since I have been taking trazodone, I feel I can't remember stuff. I'm tired all the time, dry mouth, weird dreams. I would rather be depressed."

For Insomnia "This tends to leave me very lethargic during the mornings. Also, I tend to have vivid nightmares. I have stopped using trazodone because of these two reasons."

For Insomnia "I was given it for insomnia while at a mental hospital. It did not help at all. It gave me really weird dreams, and I could barely sleep, so I was switched to Ambien."

For Headache "Headache during the night and weird dreams. I get bad migraines, but this was a headache and depression that went away by the second day."
